Washington State University, Brelsford Visitor Center
Pullman, WA
The 15-foot-high letters announcing arrival to the WSU campus stand tall at the new Brelsford WSU Visitor Center, a fast-paced design-build project. Rainwater is celebrated with a rooftop scupper that spills water 15 feet below to a rain garden contained by a steel ring following the curvature of the tower of light. Drought-tolerant native grasses reduce water use and define the iconic landscape of the Palouse while the solar-reflective hardscape reduces the heat-island effect.
